This just enables the compiler to parse path declarations that
contain part selects. As for bit selects, the part select is
discarded, and if elaboration of specify blocks is enabled,
the path declaration will be applied to the entire vector. If
elaboration is enabled, a warning message will now be output
when a bit or part select is discarded.
This does a better job of setting the intermediate expression types
and widths when calculating the canonical index into a packed array.
It still doesn't properly handle out-of-bound indices (br953).
The existing support for ``, `", and `\`" did not work in nested macro
definitions. Note that the new implementation only detects and replaces
these sequences inside the macro text (as required by the IEEE standard),
whereas the old implementation would detect and replace them anywhere in
the source files.
SystemVerilog allows a mixture of procedural and continuous assignments
to be applied to different parts of the same vector. The previous attempt
to make this work for non-blocking assignments was flawed (see preceding
fix for vvp_fun_part_pv::recv_vec4_pv). Instead, handle this case by
converting the non-blocking assignment into a delayed force statement,
which matches the way mixed continuous and blocking assignments are
handled.
Most vvp functors need to support recv_vec4_pv. Any that are strength-aware
also need to support recv_vec8_pv. Note the simplifying assumption that is
documented in the base class recv_vec4_pv_ implementation.
If all three rise/fall/decay delay values are constant, we can use
the vvp .delay statement variant that takes three literal numbers.
If not, we have to use the variant that takes three net inputs. If
some of the delay values are constant, we need to create constant
drivers for those delay inputs.
If a static variable declared in a task, function, or block has an
initialisation expression, SystemVerilog requires the declaration to
have an explicit static lifetime. This is supposed to be a compile
error, but for now just output a warning.
Implementing this required adding support in the parser for explicit
lifetimes in variable declarations. For now, just output an error if
the user asks for a lifetime that isn't the default for that scope.
